Renewable Energy, Economics, & Inertia

Key Takeaway

Developers and large power consumers must account for grid inertia requirements, as increasing solar penetration necessitates dedicated solutions like synchronous compensators to maintain system stability.

AI Summary

  • Solar PV systems do not inherently contribute inertia to the electrical grid.
  • Maintaining grid stability, particularly inertia, is a critical technical challenge with increasing penetration of non-synchronous renewable energy sources.
  • Synchronous compensators are highlighted as a necessary 'spinning device' to provide the required inertia for grid stability in high-renewable environments.
